Admission & Financial AidBreadcrumbHomeAdmission & Financial AidApply |Visit |Tuition & Fees |Financial AidPeer RecommendationThis Peer Recommendation is to be completed by a classmate or close friend who knows the applicant well and can evaluate the applicant's strengths. This recommendation can provide helpful context in understanding the applicant in a community of their peers. You, as a close friend, coworker, teammate, or classmate, etc. know the applicant in a different way than do teachers, counselors, principals, and advisors. Your insights will help us to understand the nature and extent of the respect accorded to the applicant by peers. Since Davidson can select only a small number of the total applicant pool to fill each year's entering class, your assessment of this applicant's strengths and weaknesses will be important in our decision.CONFIDENTIALITY: Recommendations are an important part of the admission process at Davidson. Since we believe that most recommenders prefer that their recommendations be kept strictly confidential, we destroy recommendations before any applicant or parent or advisor could have any opportunity to see them.The top section of this form should be completed with the applicant's information.
